To take offence at DHs post on my brothers FB wall?

[Pascha]

this probably outs me.

Dh saw DBs wall post showing pics of his fiancee's engagement ring which is very pretty (of course). Thy have a fairly antagonistic relationship with sarcasm as the main mode of communication on both sides.

He just posted: "is that from Wilkinsons range then?" (ie cheap and nasty).

Just a bit of childish humour surely? Not, I think, worth of offence and frothing.

Its a joke why does it bother you

Well it's not a nice thing to say but why are you offended?

Worthy ffs

Its a joke...

It is a joke, but still mean.

I think that is quite funny . But then sh and I have that type of humour and frequently put comments like that on each others wall. < saddos emote>

Because it's nasty. It insults her taste. It's an awful thing to say. DB posted the pic because they are proud of it and want to show it off. The only appropriate response is "how lovely". Anything else is nasty!

Tis obviously sarcastic so why be bothered?

Am sure your DB will find it funny too!

Dh. Stupid phone

Only you can say if he's being an offensively rude & obnoxious pig or just having a laugh as men do.

May I be the first to say leave the bastard?

Oh fgs get a grip on reailty, its a joke dont you have a sense of humour?

I think anyone so showy as to put pics of their engagement ring on Facebook deserves a bit of banter like that tbh.

I didn't see the sarcasm in it. I didn't see the nastiness either. It is just a joke?

Is it not just a joke between them rather than actually meaning to be nasty? Would DB take it as a joke or would he be offended or upset by the comment?

They don't have that kind of relationship. They only see each other once a year and they totally don't get each other at all. DB will be insulted and she will be a bit hurt.

It's not a joke. It's meant.

It's between your DH and his mate. It's a blokey banter type comment, not a big deal. Posting pics of your engagement ring on Facebook is very tacky too.

Oh, in that case it's a pretty weird comment, yes.

It was just a joke. Guys don't comment "how lovely" about rings....

It's meant? Really? I'm pretty sure it's a sarcastic joke, he can't really think he bought an engagement ring in wilko's?

What romancandle said

The sentiment is meant.

No you're right Frutilla, they don't usually comment at all. He shouldn't have said anything about it.

I just feel if it was me I'd feel a bit miffed and fed up.
